I was woken up by a call this morning, from a production person, who told me we had a call tomorrow at 19:30 for a sequence in a nightclub. I confirmed and went back to sleep. Later, I was woken again by a call telling me that the sequence was cancelled, and that it might not be filmed until mid-December. An email even later told me that she’d be in touch to keep me updated on call times for next week.

I was supposed to get the finished script on Monday, and I haven’t seen it yet. I’m worried about that, since I need time to mentally prepare, find my character’s center and motivation, and so on. They should be happy I’m not a method actor, or I’d have to spend two months like some idiot thug on the streets of Mexico City to “get into character”.

Writing’s going well, character studies are done, and I’m pretty happy with them, treatment is about 50% done, with all turning points and climax nailed down, mostly a matter of filling in the blanks, setting up a couple of auxiliary characters, etc. It should be done this week. My girlfriend’s going away for a few days on Friday morning, that should give me the time to finish up the treatment.
